Real in L.A.

For all the times I’ve walked by the exercise studio at Sunset and Golden Gate in Silverlake, I’d never registered that its grey walls resemble a blackboard. Sure, the wall would be tagged occasionally and, just as often, quickly painted over. But those were indecipherable, spray-painted territorial markings.

Then, last week, chalk inscriptions appeared, an unknown individual’s paean to peace, love/amor, and freedom that declared Silver Lake is “always & 4ever free” and “we don’t worship the almighty $.”

Lovely sentiments, especially given their location on the same block that’s recently undergone Santa Monica-fication.
